Journey to the West: Beginning with the Apprenticeship of Bodhi Patriarch

Chapter 290 Taibai Star Descends to Earth

In the palace, Wu Zetian was looking for a group of immortals in order to learn how to prolong her life, but she knew that if the immortals knew that he had broken his promise, they would never come easily, so she dispatched troops to "invite" them.

However, after a long time of "inviting", the real person did not appear, which made Wu Zetian a little impatient. She called the female official into the hall and asked about the matter.

The Holy Emperor said, "Earlier I asked you to go find the real immortal, and I don't know how much it cost to mobilize troops and generals. Have you found it now?"

The female official shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, it has not been found yet. We have dispatched more people to search for it."

The Holy Emperor said: "I heard earlier that the true gods and their followers have many traces in the human world. How could they not be found? The true god is a deer rider, so he is very easy to find."

The female official replied: "Your Majesty, the world is so big that it is very difficult to find one person."

The Holy Emperor sighed and said, "I will not hide it from you. I am ill, but if I cannot find the immortal, I am afraid my life will end. So I have no choice but to hurry."

The female official didn't know what to say, and was at a loss when a eunuch came to report that a group of immortals had appeared in the Liangzhou area.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor asked anxiously, "Are they really the group of immortals?"

The eunuch whispered, "That's right, that's right. I dare not hide anything. The immortals were a large group of people riding on white deer, and they were seen in Liangzhou."

The Holy Emperor stood up and said, "Since this is the case, send troops to invite the immortals to come to see me. It is better to do it at your own convenience. If the immortals are unwilling to come, you can use the sword to invite them."

The eunuch took the order and left to convey the Holy Emperor's orders.

Seeing this, the female official hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the immortal is not an ordinary person. If we use force to invite him, it may be bad."

The Holy Emperor shook his head and said, "Even if there are unknown consequences, I must do this. If I don't do it, my life will end."

Upon hearing this, the female official dared not say anything more, for fear that the Holy Emperor would be angry.

……

But outside Jincheng of Liangzhou, the immortals and their group left Jincheng and were heading for the Southern Continent. However, they had not walked for long when they reached a mountain and were about to move forward.

But the immortal suddenly told everyone to stop.

The Bull Demon King raised the Black Dragon Piyue Spear and looked around, thinking that some evil spirit was coming to block his way. However, he looked around for a long time and did not see anything. He did not understand what was going on, so he asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

The immortal said, "An old friend has arrived. Please stop for a while and wait for him."

The Bull Demon King clasped his fists and said yes.

The group waited there for a long time, with Bull Demon King and Zuo Liang serving beside the Immortal.

Zhu Bajie put down his burden and took a rest aside, panting and looking tired.

Seeing Zhu Bajie like this, Qingniu was a little indignant and said, "Zhu Bajie, these two baskets of oranges are not fresh. Go to the south of the mountain. There is an orange tree there. Go and pick some fresh oranges."

After listening to what Qingniu said, Zhu Bajie was about to refuse, but when he saw Qingniu raising his fist, he dared not say anything more and had to get up and leave.

When Bull Demon King saw Zhu Bajie walking away, he smiled and said, "You, the Green Bull Demon, are very kind to Zhu Bajie and take care of his practice."

Qingniu said, "How can I take care of him? I can only order him around."

The Bull Demon King said, "Zhu Bajie may not know, but we do. You treat Zhu Bajie very well. When he makes mistakes in his practice, you remind him. Is it because he is a disciple of Daluo like you?"

The Green Ox turned a deaf ear to him and thought that he had not reminded Zhu Bajie to practice. Seeing this, the Bull Demon King stopped asking questions, knowing that the Green Ox did not want to say anything more.

Zhu Bajie did not slack off and soon he had picked all the oranges.

When Qingniu saw this, he was satisfied and let Zhu Bajie sit on the ground to rest.

The real people waited there for a while.

Jiang Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky, but he saw auspicious aura coming from the sky. He said, "My old friend has arrived. Niu'er, go to greet him on my behalf and tell him that I am here. Please come and see me."

The Bull Demon King looked around and saw the auspicious aura and the movement of the Taibai Star in the sky. He said, "Master, is that Taibai Jinxing?"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "It is Taibai Jinxing, go and invite him quickly."

The Bull Demon King took the order, and clouds and mist rose from his feet and went up into the sky. He walked forward and blocked the way of the auspicious air.

Taibai Jinxing emerged from the auspicious aura. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was the Bull Demon King. He stepped forward and said, "Bull Demon King, why did you come to stop me if you don't go to protect the Immortal? I need your help, but if you think of the Immortal, I can help you a little."

The Bull Demon King said, "It's nothing, it's just that the real person is down there, and he knows that the Star Lord is coming, so he sent me to invite him to meet the Star Lord."

When Taibai Jinxing heard that the real person was down there, he was overjoyed and said, "Since the real person is down there, I will go and meet him. Bull Demon King, quickly lead the way here so I can see him."

The Bull Demon King bowed and said, "Star Lord, follow me."

Say it.

The Bull Demon King held the Pi Yue Spear and led the way downwards.

Venus follows closely behind.

It didn't take long before the two of them arrived beside the real person.

When the Immortal saw Taibai Jinxing, he stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Star Lord, I just saw where you are, so I sent the Ox King to invite you. I hope you won't mind."

Taibai Jinxing said: "How can I blame the Immortal? If I had known that the Immortal was here, I would have come to pay a visit. But I was in a hurry and didn't look at the air, so I didn't know that the Immortal was here."

The immortal asked, "Star Lord, you are in a hurry to get going, but what do you need to do? Do you need my help?"

Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said, "It's not something urgent, but I have received the Emperor Ziwei's request to reincarnate to help him. However, I have some things to do in heaven, so I was delayed. I have finished them now and came down to earth. However, I don't know where to reincarnate, so I looked around to find a suitable place to reincarnate and help the Emperor Ziwei."

Jiang Yuan heard this and asked, "Did the Purple Star Emperor ask the Star Lord for help?"

Taibai Jinxing nodded and said, "That's right, but I wasted some time, and I don't know if it would have affected the Emperor's affairs. If it had, it would be a sin."

Jiang Yuan sighed, "I originally thought that the stars that followed the Emperor down to the mortal world were brought down from heaven by the Emperor. I never thought that he had asked Venus for help."

Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said, "The Immortal underestimated the Emperor. The Emperor invited many stars to descend to the mortal world, but some of them are still in office and have some inconveniences, so they have not descended yet. But in a while, there will be more stars to descend to help, such as Wu Qu, Po Jun, Tan Lang and other stars, all of which will descend to the mortal world."

The Immortal bowed to Taibai Jinxing and said, "It is very difficult to cross to the human world, but there are so many stars helping me. I should learn how to bow."

Taibai Jinxing returned the greeting and said in a panic, "I am not worthy of this courtesy from the Immortal. I am following the order of the Emperor. How dare I teach the Immortal to bow in this way? Immortal, please get up quickly."
